PLUS: PRO FOOTBALL -- GREEN BAY; Freeman Gets Probation and Fine

Wide receiver Antonio Freeman of the Green Bay Packers was sentenced yesterday to a year's probation after pleading no contest to a misdemeanor charge of lying to the police about not being the driver of a car that caused an accident.

Freeman was also fined $1,000 and ordered to pay $315 in court costs and to do 50 hours of community service by Circuit Judge William Griesbach in Green Bay, Wis.

Griesbach also ordered Freeman to pay the medical bills of a woman injured in the accident, which occurred Dec. 22.

Packers General Manager Ron Wolf had no comment on the case, the team spokesman Lee Remmel said. Greg Aiello, a spokesman for the National Football League, declined to comment on the case.
